Applications of Special Dental Services

These services are very suitable for patients who have severe fear or anxiety about dentistry and provide stress-free treatment. Special dentistry for the disabled and handicapped is performed by taking into account movement or mental limitations to provide equal access to dental treatments. Dental care during pregnancy is performed in compliance with the principles of maternal and fetal safety. Also, patients with diseases such as diabetes, heart problems or chronic diseases that require careful control of treatment conditions are included in this category. People with severe gag reflex can also receive the necessary services using sedation treatment.

Steps for providing special services and special care

First, the patient’s general health status is thoroughly examined and, if necessary, a consultation with the attending physician or anesthesiologist is performed. Then, a safe and specific treatment plan is planned based on the patient’s condition. Treatments are performed in a controlled environment with advanced equipment, and the patient’s vital status is continuously monitored during treatment. After the treatment, the patient and his/her companion are provided with the necessary care and post-treatment instructions to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Advantages and limitations of special services

The most important advantage of these services is that all people with any condition can receive dental treatment. Reducing anxiety, increasing patient cooperation, and performing multiple treatments in one session are other important advantages of these methods. However, these services are more expensive due to the need for more expertise, special equipment, and the presence of an anesthesia team. Also, pre-treatment preparation and the presence of a post-treatment companion are necessary in some cases, and there may be limitations in performing selected treatments.

Cost of special services and special care

The cost of these services varies depending on the type of treatment, the patient’s condition, and the need for anesthesia or sedation. Approximately, the cost of an anesthesia consultation starts at about one million Tomans. Dentistry under general anesthesia usually ranges from about ten million Tomans and up. Treatment under sedation starts at around five million Tomans, and the cost of treatment for the disabled is determined depending on the type and number of treatments. Dental visits and care during pregnancy also usually start at around eight hundred thousand Tomans. The final cost will be determined after a complete patient assessment.
